It is recommended to forgive those from whom one demands previous rights, whether before sleeping or in the morning, due to the generality of the Hadith: "Connect with whoever cuts you off, give to whoever deprives you, and forgive whoever wrongs you." This is further supported by the Hadith of Abu Damdam: "My honor is for whoever slanders me," which refers to past slander. However, renouncing and forgiving a future right is not permissible, as it would be an allowance for prohibited backbiting and reviling.
